OS Partition size?

Go to solution Solved by Speedbird,

I got an M.2 128gb SSD.

I want to partition it so that my OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) is on a separate partition from my programs so that I can get a clean install of windows when I want it without having to reinstall my applications. How much space should I allocate for the OS partition? I will be keeping games and data on a separate drive.

You won't need more than 60GB, but you have to reinstall your applications anyway after reinstalling Windows.

Aww... I do? Welp... I guess I'll just leave it unpartitioned then. Thanks!
